debarred, or had a contract terminated for default are critical factors
to be considered by the contracting officer in making a responsibility
determination. This certification would require the disclosure of this
information.-

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 30 minutes per subcontractor and 5 minutes per
prime contractor per response, including the time for
[[Page 15057]]
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information.-
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
1,100,000; responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses,
1,100,000; preparation hours per response, 30 minutes/subcontractor, 5
minutes/prime contractor; and total response burden hours, 91,667.

justifications from the General Services Administration, FAR
Secretariat (MVRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202)
